Trump says will build safe zones in Syria

Washington, Dec 16 (PTI) US President-elect Donald Trump has said he will build safe zones in Syria and will make the Gulf states to pay for it.

"We will build safe zones in Syria," Trump said at a post-election victory rally in Pennsylvania last night.

"When I look at whats going on in Syria its so sad, its so sad. And weve got to help people. And we have the Gulf states. They have nothing but money," he said.

"We dont have money. We owe USD 20 trillion. I will get the Gulf states to give us lots of money and well build and help build safe zones in Syria so people can have a chance," Trump said, giving an inkling into his plan in the Middle East.

To protect the US from terrorism and extremism, Trump said he will suspend immigration and refugee admissions from regions where they cannot be safely processed or vetted.
